Cauliflower ears are caused by the ear cartilage dying off and being replaced by fibrous scar tissue. That's definitely not cartilage overgrowth.


Yes, Epstein committed suicide, and Saddam had weapons of mass destruction. Every sane person knows that.


Are there no dedicated parking spots for the disabled in the US?


If it's anything like the UK, plenty of non-disabled people use them regardless - because they drive a massive Q7 which doesn't fit into regular spaces, or just because they're closer to the store/school/whatever.

Pretty dispicable if you ask me, but there does seem to be a large segment of the population that just don't give a shit.


There are, and they're usually the closest spots, but picking someone up and dropping them off right in front of the store is usually closer. (Oftentimes, doing pickups/dropoffs there is explicitly disallowed, because stopped cars obstruct the view of pedestrians for drivers of moving cars.)


>although I would dispute the beauty of some of the proofs in it

Agree. In my opinion, the proofs in that book are not so much about beauty, rather how one can prove seemingly complex stuff with surprisingly elementary tools.


Yep, it's confirmed with p = 0.049


I personally prefer buying FLAC from Bandcamp. It's the most artist-friendly option I'm aware of (and the most environmentally friendly too!). Some of them even include the same artwork in PDF that would be printed for the CD/vinyl edition.


This or direct download, I want the artist to get as much money as possible. The bug companies run off pure breed and don't even give the artist 10% of revenue unless they are in the top 0.0001% who can afford to demand it or walk.


This. Just give me FLAC with vinyl artwork in PDF.

Vinyl actually has less dynamic range than CD - it's the equivalent of around 12 bit dithered PCM.


People buying vinyl are looking for a collectable. There is something to be said for the physical experience of physical media.


>And then Mr. Tripathi went missing

False. He went missing a month before the bombings:

>Soon after, another redditor named Sunil as a plausible suspect after asserting a resemblance between the suspects in the FBI's pictures and Sunil, who had gone missing a month before the bombings.

Now it depends on how b64key is sanitized.


In Safari: View → Zoom In

It's smart enough to remember the zoom level the next time you open HN too.


That's not increasing line-height. I don't have a problem with my eyesight, I have a problem with poor typography.


And I have a problem with acres of whitespace. Here's one vote for HN to leave the line height right where it is.


How do you live with a centered fixed-width table that is wasting 15% of the browser window with nothing but hectares of white space then? Bumping the line-height to 1.5ish the font size has minimal impact to space efficiency, and add tons to readability.

> And I have a problem with acres of whitespace.

We're talking about just 1.5x line height. Which is a perfectly reasonable default for nice reading. The browsers have a lower default line height because of historical reasons, doesn't mean it's the right one. People don't use the Times font very often either.
